Science Page

AIM:01’s advanced formulation slows premature cellular aging and helps to prevent the onset of age-related diseases and chronic conditions.

What is inflammation?

Inflammation is our body’s first line of defense.

Following an infection or cellular injury, our immune system activates an inflammatory response to eliminate threats like bacteria and viruses. Immune cells quickly identify and terminate damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that are released during cellular injury or infection.

Our bodies need the immune system’s temporary inflammatory response to survive. But when the immune system fails to downregulate this activated response, inflammation quickly turns from defender to attacker.

Chronic inflammation is the result of the immune system turning on itself. With no threats or foreign invaders to fight off, the same processes that eliminate threatening cells begin to attack healthy tissues and organs.

AIM-01 is the world’s most innovative inflammation-regulating daily supplement. It’s advanced formulation features 3 patented ingredients that have been clinically studied to reduce chronic inflammation and reverse the markers of biological aging.

C3 Reduct®

Tetrohydrocurcumin is more easily absorbed by the intestines and accessed by cells than traditional curcumin.

Curcumin C3 Reduct (Tetrohydrocurcumin) is a modified and patented version of Curcumin. The potency of this plant-based compound is significantly more than traditional Curcumin and is more readily absorbed by the intestines.

Benefit
    The effects of Curcumin C3 Reduct:
  • Eliminates harmful molecules called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)
  • Suppresses the activity of pro-inflammatory molecules
  • Acts as a potent antioxidant to protect against inflammation
  • Reduces inflammation-related tissue damage
    • The benefits of Curcumin C3 Reduct:
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Improves joint range of motion

Mitoprime™

Introducing MitoPrime, a powerful, naturally occurring, energy-boosting antioxidant.

This patented formulation of L-ergothioneine, is more easily absorbed and utilized by cells than traditional formulations of ergothioneine. As an amino acid with high antioxidant potency, MitoPrime has proven its efficacy in protecting DNA from oxidative damage and preventing cell-death. Together, these preventative functions reduce age-related cognitive decline.

Benefit
    The effects of MitoPrime:
  • Removes excess inflammatory molecules that accumulate in injured tissues
  • Helps to prevent cell death
  • Helps to increase production of anti-inflammatory molecules
  • Helps to combat pain signaling
    • The Benefits of MitoPrime:
  • Relieves pain
  • Improves joint range of motion
  • Defends against the development of chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.

GlucoVantage®

GlucoVantage/Dihydroberberine is a first-of-its-kind formulation that improves insulin sensitivity and supports healthy body composition.

Dihydroberberine is a naturally occurring derivative of Berberine that is significantly more bioavailable. This plant-based molecule plays an important role in preventing metabolic disorders and supporting a healthy body:fat ratio. It activates AMP-activated protein kinase, which is an enzyme in the body that stops the growth of fat cells, improves how fat is used for energy, and enhances cardiovascular health.

Benefit
    The effects of GlucoVantage:
  • Improves insulin sensitivity
  • Enhances the conversion of fat into energy
  • Inhibits the growth of fat cells
  • Suppresses pro-inflammatory signaling molecules
    • The Benefits of GlucoVantage:
  • Supports healthy body weight and waist circumference
  • Helps to balance blood glucose levels
  • Defends against development of inflammatory conditions, including: ulcerative colitis, diabetes, cancer.

trans-Resveratrol™

trans-Resveratrol is an essential anti-inflammatory plant-based compound that supports anti-aging by restoring cognitive impairment and boosting longevity.

Aging fans the flames of inflammation, but compounds like Resveratrol fight inflammation by blocking pro-inflammatory signaling molecules and enhancing enzymes that protect against inflammatory conditions.

  • Helps block pro-inflammatory signaling molecules
  • Enhances enzymes associated with longevity, like SIRT1
  • Aids release of cardioprotective, anticancer, neuroprotective and antidiabetic effects
  • Helps protect against inflammatory-induced conditions including arthritis and neuroinflammation
  • Helps prevent obesity and regulate cholesterol
  • Helps extend human healthspan

Ginger root extract®

Ginger root extract to reduce symptoms associated with chronic inflammation.

For centuries, herbal medicine practitioners have relied on ginger root extract’s anti-inflammatory properties to manage pain, cognition, and mobility. Ginger root extra suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory molecules and regulates glucose fluctuation.

Protects against:
  • Asthma
  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • Alzheimer's
  • Crohn's Disease
  • Osteoporosis

Vitamin B12™

Vitamin B12 is an essential molecule for enhancing energy and boosting athletic performance.

Vitamin B12 helps enzymes carry out the process of converting food into energy. But as we age, our bodies grow deficient in B12, which can lower our energy levels, affect our metabolism, and contribute to cognitive impairment.

Benefit
  • Helps the body maintain energy
  • Helps prevent cognitive impairment
  • Helps reduce joint pain
  • Helps prevent anemia
